.........

I have been trying to write something from last half an hour and what I could write was not even a single line, not even four words and the thing is that why m I even trying to write…what do I want to write?
My colleagues here are so different than people I have met earlier. They are so sincere wit their studies (unlike engineers) and whenever they get time for themselves, they spend their time doing different things like painting, drawing, reading and doing many other interesting things. So, I kind of got inspired. Even I felt like doing something. I was just wondering what I can do.
Same thing happened after watching ‘Three Idiots’. An excellent movie. I could really relate to it so well. After my 12th std, I was not clear with my aim in life. Actually, I always had so many aims. So, obviously I was not clear with what I wanted to do and went for engineering (which was considered to be the most sought after profession at that time). Though I was not very good at studies but somehow managed to get placed with TCS. In the last year at college, again got indecisive about my career. Heard from a lot of people from this industry that B.Tech + MBA is a great combo and is the latest trend. Completed college, went home and again within three four days went to Chandigarh for MBA coaching. Started preparing for CAT very seriously, again as days passed I got more casual with studies and started waiting for TCS’s call. After some time, got desperate to return back to home. Left Chandigarh went home. Stopped preparing from entrance exams. Finally, got my joining date and the day I had to join TCS was the same day when my CAT was scheduled.WOW!! What a relief, I thought. Now, no CAT.
Then came to TCS, Ahmedabad. First two days were very hectic but then got used to it. Started enjoying. Now after two months, again I want to do something else. Every time I start doing anything, I feel that I am not made for this thing, I’ll do something else. But I don’t know what this something is. I just know that it should be something I have a passion for; something, I would enjoy doing; something, of which I’ll never get bored; something, interesting; something, I’ll be good at.
But again, what is this something? People say that every person has a hidden talent and the person needs to explore it. But how do you do that? I have not been able to find it till now and I guess it’s high time.
Even if I jot down points about my interests I am not able to settle down on something. Ok, let’s see. I like reading, I like listening to music, I like dancing and…..that’s it. And when I listen to music I feel like writing. So I began writing (wanted to give it a try), but again couldn’t even think of any topic to write about.
I guess I need some help!!!

TCS,Gandhinagar

It has been a long time since I have written something because we don’t have internet facility where we have been provided accommodation and going to cyber cafĂ© after coming from ILP center is really very difficult. After sitting in front of PC from 9 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening, I don’t have the energy to go and sit in front of PC again.

Anyways, as already I said in my previous post, this post is about my time at TCS, Ahmedabad.

Well from the first day itself it has been a nice time. People are very good and helpful. The place is very peaceful. Though ILP is a little boring but still it is far better than other ILP centers, I guess. Life here is not that tough as I have heard about other ILP centers. These last two months were very……...i am not getting the exact word to describe actually. There were a lot of things… the tension of ECs (this is what they call the tests here), fun with friends, dumb games in class, trips to ahmedabad , again the tension about allocation and most importantly, the first salary feeling. WOW!!! It was not much but still, the feeling was awesome.

Now I am done with the first phase of training, started with the second phase. I hope this phase also goes well like the last one. The earlier it gets over, the earlier I’ll be able to go home. And after that , Bengaluru. Oh, I forgot to tell that I got my base branch at Bengaluru and by mid march I guess I’ll be there. so, that’s all for now.

Cya people , take care :)
